SHEPHERD HUTS & ROLLER VANS

​

Come and experience a unique stay in one of our steam roller living vans! Most people think these are Shepherds Huts but they are in fact vintage living accommodation for the road makers of the past. In a time when steam and horses were mans only power, getting to and from a job would be a days job in itself, usually travelling around 10 miles an hour! So to combat this problem the road men travelled around with their accommodation behind their steam rollers to the job. They ate, washed and slept in there and only returned home either at weekends or when the job was complete. 

Both of our authentic steam roller vans contain many of the original features to give a real feel of how they would of been 100 years ago. The only alterations we have made are to add cold running water to avoid the lifting of heavy jugs and to add into one of them a portable toilet (as the originals would have had nothing more than a bucket!)
